Shared Sequencing

Definition ∞ Shared sequencing involves multiple rollup solutions utilizing a common, decentralized network of sequencers to order and batch their transactions before submission to the base layer. This shared approach aims to improve cross-rollup composability and reduce the centralization risks associated with individual rollup sequencers. It offers a neutral ordering service.
Context ∞ Shared sequencing is a rapidly developing area of research and implementation within the rollup ecosystem, addressing challenges related to censorship resistance and interoperability. The goal is to establish a robust and fair mechanism for transaction ordering across diverse layer-2 networks, thereby fostering a more cohesive and efficient decentralized application environment.
